What is the Data Upload Design Kit?

The Data Upload Design Kit is a free tool for service designers in Government to use. It works with the GOV.UK Prototype Kit and offers a quick and easy way to gather data in bulk, from users.

It’s a set of templates that designers can use to create a simple data upload journey for their users. The templates are fully customisable and the toolkit is designed to make the process of gathering large amounts of data quick and easy.

The Data Upload Design Kit can handle complex spreadsheets and can be used as part of the GOV.UK Prototype Kit and in production as part of a real service. All components and patterns are compatible with the GOV.UK Design System.

Who is it for?

The Data Upload Design Kit is for Service Designers in Government, who need to collect large amounts of data from different users, for a particular service.

You may be working on a new live service or adapting and maintaining a current one, and need a way to collect data (either as a one-off or on a regular basis) from various sources.

Who created it?

It has been developed by Register Dynamics, a company that specialises in working with Government. They have designed this tool to make the often time-consuming and difficult task of collecting vast amounts of data from different people, easier to manage and able to be completed in a matter of minutes.
